A 1985 video recording features legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker joined by Michel Graillier and Red Mitchell on piano and Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on bass. Also includes an interview with Baker.
Chet Baker was someone I kind of passed over in my " education " of jazz. I wrote him off as just a " pretty boy playing a trumpet".Boy, did I get that wrong. I purchased my first cds with Chet, and I realized how wrong I was. Then I got the Jazz Icons with ChetBaker, and I had to see and hear more. So, in getting this one, it only re-enforced my appreciation for Chet Baker. This is one ofthose delightful performances that is in and intimate setting, that really focuses on the interaction and nuance of the playing. You canreally understand how playing in close quarters and being able to focus on what they are doing, really inspires them. Now many ofyou have concerts at big venues have this large audience and many people you can see are really not interested in the music. Theyjust happened to be there, or they were just killing time. I have been at casino venues, where people are walking back and forth rightaround seating area, and it's distracting sometimes to me, think how it must, at least at times, break a musicians concentration.
